    I think I've noticed that almost all of the people with increased process
    size have either used FUP or the regexp heavily. (Most being the former) As
    said by (sorry, forget the name) creator of FUP, FUP uses regexp and has some
    leaks...He said it'd be several weeks before a fixed version of FUP was
    released. (Please correct if I'm wrong.)

    Nah, when you've seen you're MOO using 20% of the system's mem, and
    suddenly it's up to 30% and still growing... then when ya restart it goes
    back to normal...sounds like a leak to me.
